HaUI engages students in reading culture through library writing competition

On the morning of April 4, 2026, the Library and Information Center of Hanoi University of Industry (HaUI) officially launched a reading promotion campaign alongside the fourth “Writing about the Library” competition. The program attracted a large number of students, creating a meaningful platform to connect book lovers and promote the value of knowledge within the HaUI community.

In the context of rapid digital transformation, reading continues to play a fundamental role in higher education. Beyond the acquisition of knowledge, it cultivates critical thinking, enriches intellectual depth, and contributes to the holistic development of individuals. Books remain an enduring source of human wisdom, empowering learners to broaden their perspectives and engage more thoughtfully with the world.

Dr. Nguyễn Văn Thiện, Vice Rector of Hanoi University of Industry, attended the program

At Hanoi University of Industry, the library has evolved beyond its conventional function as a repository of resources to become an integral component of the University’s academic ecosystem. It serves as a dynamic learning environment that fosters inspiration, encourages intellectual exchange, and supports the development of an active and self-directed academic community.

A highlight of the program was a thematic talk on leadership in the era of artificial intelligence, delivered by Nguyễn Cảnh Bình, Chairman of Alpha Books. Emphasizing the transformative power of reading, he encouraged students to approach books not merely as sources of information, but as tools for developing insight, shaping perspective, and cultivating the mindset required for future leadership.

The fourth “Writing about the Library” competition provides a valuable opportunity for students to move beyond their comfort zones, strengthen self-discipline, and begin shaping a clear sense of personal vision. Rather than waiting for a predetermined path, they are encouraged to take initiative, as “the best way to predict the future is to create it.”

The program attracted a large number of students

In an era defined by the rapid evolution of knowledge, the capacity for critical thinking and adaptability has become essential. Reading, therefore, extends beyond a routine practice to become a strategic asset in personal and intellectual development. The competition serves as a meaningful platform for students to challenge themselves, cultivate discipline, and begin shaping their intellectual and professional trajectories.
